> Clarinets produce odd-order harmonics too

cool! That'd be via a mechanical means!

Tube based guitar amplifiers make harmonics via miniature particle accelerators (and the supporting circuitry) ;) Multiple ways to produce the same effect!

> There is absolutely nothing special or mysterious about a distorted electric guitar except that it sounds cool.

That's not correct at all in fact! Even a simple google search reveals this :) How about this? Type "what harmonics does a 5150 amplifier produce vs a single ended EL34 amplifier?" into chatgpt

I suggest reading the following:
